      Thank you for your inquiry. If the pipe is IPS standard, and Poly, you should be able to connect.

        No. HOME-FLEX Underground products are for outdoor, underground use only and should never be used under a foundation with a structure on it.

            you can connect PVC gas with yellow polyurethane. with this copling
            ByJul 9, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            No, this coupler is designed specifically for use with IPS-sized yellow polyethylene (PE) gas pipe, not PVC. Connecting PVC to PE gas pipe requires specialized transition fittings that are designed for that specific purpose. Using incorrect fittings can be dangerous and is not compliant with code requirements for gas piping systems.

            you can connect BBC with yellow polyurethane.
            ByJul 9, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Connecting "BBC" with yellow polyurethane is not a standard practice in gas piping and raises safety concerns. Yellow polyurethane is typically associated with gas lines, and it's crucial to use approved materials and methods for gas connections. Improper connections can lead to gas leaks, which are extremely dangerous. If you have a gas line issue, it's best to consult a qualified gas professional.

              Very easy to use
              These connectors were really easy to use and install. They made running our gas line very simple and had not leaks after they were installed. Highly recommend the use of these

                This poly pipe system is great for installing underground propane piping. No need to join many lengths like with iron pipe. No need to dig straight trenches, we could curve it around obstacles. The riser elbows made the into and out of the ground ends easy.

                You really need to fuss with this thing to get it to hold pressure. I installed 2 lines, one had a large leak that i eventually fixed with reseating the couplings, one had a very slow leak that i never got fixed. I verified that all other pipe fittings had no leak so it must have been these. I was hoping for an easy no brainer fitting, I don't think this one is it.

                Hi Ironcore, Thank you for your feedback. We rely on this type of feedback coming in from the field in order to learn more about how and where our products are being used and what types of improvements we should make. I am surprised to hear that you had to "fuss with" the fitting to get a leak free installation. I am very interested in hearing more about your installation. Were our instructions easy for you to follow step by step? Did you fully tighten the fitting by hand and snug it with your pliers? Did you use the supplied insert? If possible, could you give us a call here at HOME-FLEX and provide some additional information? We are here M-F from 8-5 Pacific time. Our number is 661-257-3923. Ask for Jon ValenciaPipe
